"It's always bothered me," says McIntosh, "that people say strings can't swing. Why is it a bass player can swing? It's just a matter of knowing the language. And I wanted to extend the jazz language to non-conventional jazz instruments."

Even the set-up of the quartet varies slightly from the usual string quartet of two violins, viola and cello. Here, McIntosh employed one violin, viola and two cellos. "I've always felt there was a gap between viola and cello," he says. "What we did was to tune one cello one octave below the violin to close that gap. Many composers have had the idea; it's one of the things that makes the string quartet Hip. And the flute is there to add another color."
